We all love a comfy pillow or two for a cozy, restorative night’s sleep. However, a recent UK survey reveals that Gen Z like to sleep with seven pillows. Yes, seven.

While the best pillows for all sleepers are guaranteed to give a good night’s rest, how many pillows are too many? To find out if Gen Z could be on to something, we reached out to Dr Leah Kaylor, clinical psychologist specialising in sleep and trauma, to understand if there’s any actual benefits to sleeping on 7 pillows.

If you're intrigued to try, we've also included advice on stacking the pillows the right way to avoid ruining both your sleep and posture. Plus, if you are shopping for a new pillow (or seven), we've rounded up the best early deals in this year’s Presidents’ Day Bedding sales.
